SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cousins Maine Lobster, the Shark Tank phenom known for serving up the world's best, wild-caught, Maine lobster rolls, chowder, and whoopie pies announced today that they will be expanding to Kansas City, servicing the greater Kansas City metro area, North East Kansas and Central Missouri. This marks the company's 7th corporate-owned unit and 70th unit overall since launching in 2012.

Co-Founder Sabin Lomac and Company Operator, Jake Mutscheller, celebrate the launch of the CML Salt Lake City market at Talisman Brewing, Talisman Brewing, in Ogden, UT on May 5th, 2023.

In early 2023, Cousins Maine Lobster began conducting a series of roadshows to build brand awareness and gauge market potential. Throughout their visits, CML has received an overwhelmingly positive response from local seafood fans, attracting large crowds, building strong partnerships with local venues, and creating a loyal fan base and following on social media.

Angela Coppler, CML's Head of Development, shared, "We're thrilled to be bringing our wild-caught Maine lobster to the BBQ capital of the world. We're fortunate to have the ability to leverage our food trucks to explore new markets. We've seen a tremendous response and growing fan base as we've conducted tours across Kansas, Missouri, and the Midwest over the past year. These tests have informed our growth strategy, including our launch in Kansas City. We are also continuing to talk with potential franchise partners for St. Louis and other Midwest markets for future expansion."

CML invites the community to join them as they celebrate with an official ribbon cutting and launch party at Cinder Block Brewery, in North Kansas City, MO chosen for its delicious brews and family-friendly atmosphere. Lobster fans will also be able to win shirts, hats, menu items, and other great prizes at the event.
